I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I'm a fun-loving, easygoing, stereo-atypical cyber hippie girl. I love to take pictures. Born and raised in Southern California (except for that stint in the UK back in '88-'89), partially on a farm and partially in LA. I've tried on a few different hats in my life so I always have a story to tell. I ask myself all the time, "How'd I get so lucky?" I feel like I'm in alignment with the universe, on my path, following my bliss, and in the last few years so many opportunities have presented themselves to me in every area of life. Every day I find something to be thankful for.
I'm blessed with a kickass group of friends I've known for more than a decade, a groovy alt life as a downtempo DJ, a lovely home I've co-created with two of my best friends, and so much more. I can't help but observe the timing of the dichotomy of my joy with the suffering in the world; however I firmly believe that each and every one of us starts our global healing work with knowledge and respect of self. It's an ongoing process, one I'm committed to.
Here are a few of my photos - click for more:

My Interests

Digital photography , computers, digital art, downtempo music , chillaxing, traveling, camping, dancing, building & sustaining community

I'd like to meet:

Folks who choose to live their lives with integrity and authenticity. I've discovered a wellspring of gratitude for the abundance of life and would love to know more souls who feel the same. Cynics need not apply.

PLEASE NOTE:I only add people as friends if I know them in person already, have had some sort of online exchange that makes me feel like I know that person, or an artist whose music I play when I DJ. Please don't ask to add me unless this is true for you. You are always welcome to message me if we don't know each other and keep in touch that way; who knows, we might find enough things in common to become friends!Please, NO FLYERS in comments. Thanks.
